Services are available at no cost for teachers and faculty serving Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach City College, and California State University Long Beach students.

Long Beach Career-Linked Learning (CaLL) connects students with employers to deliver high-quality work-based learning experiences that benefit both employers and our students. Our mission is to ensure all Long Beach students—from middle school to college—have access to inspiring work-based learning opportunities in growing and emerging career sectors, complementing what they learn in class, so that they gain the skills and knowledge needed to be successful members of our local economy.

What Long Beach CaLL can do for you and your students

The total Long Beach student population is about 90,000 high school and college students. With 95% of the Long Beach economy made of small businesses, facilitating all the work-based learning opportunities needed requires organization and time which the district, colleges and employers do not have the capacity to put in place and sustain.

Long Beach CaLL fills this crucial need.

We collaborate with teachers, faculty and administrators to provide a range of work-based learning opportunities inside and outside of the classroom, including guest speakers, job shadowing, mentorships and internships.

We support your goal of developing students into critical thinkers, lifelong learners and good citizens who are empowered and able to thrive in the real world.

We are here to help you implement the work-based learning component of the Linked Learning approach both through externships for educators, as well as facilitating placements and offering support to help prepare your students to thrive in professional environments.
